Is Vitamin D important? You bet it is! So many of us in Richmond are deficient in vitamin D, as many as 80% or more
in some places in the world! Vitamin D impacts a variety of bodily functions, and your Richmond chiropractor
takes care of so many of those bodily functions. Johnson Chiropractic
encourages Richmond chiropractic patients to incorporate vitamin D
in their diet and supplementation plan to safeguard their health, enrich
their health, and prevent issues that accompany vitamin D
deficiencies. Richmond chiropractic treatment plans are not just developed
for back pain relief but also wellness lifestyle.
THE IMPACT OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
Vitamin D deficiencies may well lead to issues
like weakened mineralization and even myopathy. Low levels of vitamin D result
in reduced muscle strength, sarcopenia, functional limitation,
disability and falls and physical function in older adults. Osteomalacia
and rickets may also stem from15 vitamin D
deficiency. Despite blood and urine levels of calcium, taking
a form of vitamin D (edecalcitol) helps amplify bone
mineral density and decrease the risk of
vertebral fractures. (1) 88% of Indian
women experience vitamin D deficiency which potentially
increases the risk of development of osteoporosis and
pregnancy-related complications in the future. (2) Children with scoliosis of
mean age of 13.6 years before corrective spinal surgery are inclined
to have have low vitamin D levels. (3) Johnson Chiropractic appreciates
its role in helping Richmond back pain sufferers realize
as functional a life as possible which may include instructing
patients to boost their vitamin D levels.
PROTECT AND ENHANCE HEALTH WITH IMPROVED VITAMIN D LEVELS
Combining vitamin D and calcium with denosumab (a drug used
for osteoporosis treatment) combated the decrease in calcium caused
by taking denosumab, stopped bone metabolism, and raised
bone mineral density. (4) Vitamin D protects against vertebral fracture in addition to sarcopenia and cardiovascular decline and enriches
muscle function and help bone. (5) Osteoporotic
vertebral fracture raises the risk of back pain, especially
in those who have higher pain intensity, angular instability, and past
such fractures and less prone to exercising regularly. (6) Johnson Chiropractic sees these as
worthy motives to improve
vitamin D levels as part of the nutritional plan!
